Event Overview

Welcome message:

Welcome to Munich 2018 - Where Invention and Innovation Accelerates!

The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology will host in Munich in 2018 the world's largest and most influential allergy, asthma and clinical immunology meeting.

Boasting a proud history of scientific innovation and medical discoveries and with a spirit of collaboration, openness and information-sharing Munich is a fitting choice for the EAACI Annual Congress. Many of the world's most famous innovative thinkers that redefined the course of modern human civilization have lived and worked in the capital of Bavaria. Munich is firmly branded as a center of expertise in R&D and innovation. The city’s innovation-friendly climate encourages proactive development work and close cooperation among clinics, universities and research organizations. All told, the Munich area is one of the most research-intensive regions of Germany. The Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research, the Max Planck Society for the Promotion of Science, Munich’s Helmholtz Center for Environmental Health, the Technical University, the Ludwig-Maximilian’s University, the Center for Integrated Protein Science and the Munich Center for Advanced Protonics are just a few examples of Munich at its research-rich best.

Progress happens when great minds work together to solve the toughest challenges. One of the EAACI’s greatest achievements is its ability to create partnerships and communities to accelerate the rate of invention and innovation. Currently, there are no treatment modalities that can cure allergy. Therefore extensive efforts in innovative prevention, monitoring and immune modulation interventions together with integrative approaches are needed to circumvent the unmet needs in allergy and asthma. Such innovative solutions ultimately lead to better patient outcomes, fewer hospital visits and reduced healthcare costs. Through research, education, community outreach, and talent development, the allergy community needs to promote a transformational impact on how we understand and manage allergic diseases and asthma.

The Scientific Programme will present the best in science and educational sessions from distinguished researchers from across the globe. Covering key topics in allergic diseases and asthma the EAACI Annual Congress provides a multidisciplinary forum for allergists, pulmonologists, ENTs, dermatologists, internists, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, clinical immunologists and primary care physicians.

I look forward to welcoming participants and friends from around the world to the EAACI Annual Congress where we will continue our mission to drive standards in allergy and clinical immunology. These meetings would not be possible without your continuous endeavor for high quality learning opportunities and scientific interactions. Join EAACI to celebrate innovation as the game-changing approach to the complex health, social, economic, environmental and technical challenges posed by allergy and asthma.

K.I.T. Group has been appointed as the official and exclusive housing agent for the EAACI Congress 2018. Your hotel reservations will be part of the congress block and the K.I.T. Group will be available to provide support before the congress as well as onsite. EAACI strongly recommends delegates to book via the K.I.T. Group, as we are aware of fraudulent groups acting as housing agents that claim to be associated with the congress. Regretfully, we cannot offer any support with any bookings made via these fraudulent companies.

Hotels in Munich

A number of hotels in different categories have been pre-booked at preferential rates for the congress. Rates include breakfast and local VAT. The hotels are located both near the congress venue and in the city centre with convenient and fast routes to the congress venue. Room availability is guaranteed by the Congress Secretariat until 12 March 2018.

If payment by credit card is chosen, K.I.T. Group will charge a deposit of 35 EUR per room at the end of the online booking process.
